Download the latest Nikon P6000 Firmware Update (Version 1.2)

Released on March 04, 2009, this firmware update enables the following modifications:

When shooting in a user setting mode at an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic and Distortion control enabled, some JPEG images were corrupted. This issue has been resolved.

As distortion control cannot be used in conjunction with interval timer shooting, settings have been modified so that they cannot be enabled simultaneously.

Electric current consumption has been reduced.

When shooting in P, S, A, or M mode at an image size setting other than 13M 4224 x 3168 and an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic, the image size setting switched to 13M 4224 x 3168 when the camera was turned off and then turned on again. This issue has been resolved.
